Re: Slow USB transfer speed - any ideas at all?

I am working transitioning my forensics machines from Win7 to Linux, starting with Ubuntu 10.11 and this has been my experience, slow USB HDD. I know its a Linux/Ubuntu issue as this machine dual boots between windows 7 and Ubuntu, windows is copies a 600MB file in less then 3 minutes, Ubuntu takes 30 minutes. same machine, same drive and same USB port. I am hoping for a fix for this as this is a deal breaker to move to Linux on these machines.
